  5. Its my first year bow hunting and I am not gonna lie, these first few sits have made me realize how tough it is gonna be. I’ve sat 4 times and each one has only had one spot where I needed a deer to walk by perfectly in order for me to have the confidence to let it fly. Although the degree of difficulty has gone up and my chances are now lower, I have loved it so far. All the pre-planning, sneaking into spots I have never gone before with my rifle and getting those close interactions even if I don’t shoot bring me enough joy to give it a go. Plus getting to say I shot a deer from 8yds is pretty badass IMO. Hopefully it happens! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Got lucky, got out of work early.. doing a shot in the dark spot along my drive home. Some type of non corn ag field next to this is getting cut right now.. dont know if thats good or bad… but you cant kill’m on the couch! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Thats very interesting, never knew they sounded like that. The sound I heard was similar to the one in this video at 25 seconds in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Scariest moment of my life was walking into my stand in the dark one early morning and a bobcat screamed right next to me. Loudest, scariest sound ever and it freaked me the right out! Ended up shooting a nice 6 point that day so I will still venture out there in the dark but will never forget that scary scream!

  10. Miller’s Venison Cheddar Dog… 1st time, pretty good.. hoping I’ll be making a drive up to Lowville tomorrow to drop off a deer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Yeah down at my parent’s in north central PA they have tons of big deer and tons of deer in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. One time the military overpaid me 18k one paycheck.. as a young 19 year old who was an hour drive away from a riverboat casino in Mississippi, it took a lot of discipline and self talk not to try the same thing! Still wish I woulda just sent it lol!
  13. Well lets change this around then and take the $$$ out of it. @Four Seasonsclaims hunting on his property is as challenging or at least close to as challenging as regular properties.. how about one of you guys invite him out to your place and see if he can tag a buck, any buck in a 3 day weekend. I'll bring the beers and @Robhuntandfishcan cook us some of his delicious food.
  14. I have to hand it to you... pretty much every time I get a response from you on one of my questions it is right on the money! Thanks man!
  15. Are people doing morning sits this early on? I was thinking just use the "catch them going out to feed" afternoon strategy but if someone has a solid morning strategy I am all ears... the wife even wondered/suggested I go out early on Friday... I have learned to not turn down those opportunities lol.
  16. I don't know man, my 9 year old can probably live off his boogers for a couple weeks... my younger brother who is 29 isn't lasting 3 days!
  17. Glad I brought the rain jacket it kept my top half dry… left my rain pants at home… shoulda brought them! Didnt see anything but got to practice getting up and down my sticks and saddle. Next hunt is Friday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Got a pic of a guy walking past my spot at 0550… calling an audible and heading up to a spot at 1130 that my brother recommends Good luck everyone! Hope to see some photos later! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Thats true for the stands you leave up but what about those who hunt public land? I’d be curious to see the comfort difference between these and the steel&cushion ones. I hunt from a saddle but if I ever go the hang-on route I wouldn’t write fabric seats off without a test drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I am reading a book called "The Guns of August", its about the buildup to WW1. It mentions a famous hunting lodge in Prussia (present day Poland) named the Rominten Hunting Lodge. Couple that with an epidode of "The Queen" where Queen Elizabeth shoots a Stag in Scotland. It seems that the Western United States and Africa get lots of press as popular hunting destinations. Have any of you ever ventured across the pond to partake in a hunting excursion? If so what how was it? Please tell if you have a good story or two.
  21. I've had 4 different bear on camera this summer... this guy from a few nights ago is the biggest one so far
  22. Gonna sneak into some apple trees just inside the woods beside a bean field that has buck bed/sign in the area... this is for Tuesday and with a SW wind and light rain I am confident I can sneak in there and hopefully see something... if its brown its down!
  23. Yeah apples for sure.. I have a good spot with some apple trees that has some buck bedding 60ish yards to the south... with a SW wind forecasted with some rain, I am pretty confident I can sneak in there pretty close and see what happens.
  24. What is your tactic for nabbing a deer right out the gate? I'm not looking for a slammer, be happy to just get the freezer filled with some meat... get the big boys later on during the rut... if that doesn't work out I will just go poach one from 4 Seasons.
